For example, I have a check to watch for a timestamp of a folder to change to take some action but it's not really a problem. If you use Monit alerts, you can add a local alert filter like so to filter out timestamp events, same for other events check directory tmp with path /tmp/ if changed timestamp then exec “/restart/some/process.sh" alert [email protected] not on { timestamp } > I don't want monit sending an alert back to M/monit or show red/critical in this case but simply restart a process. Monit will still send the change event to M/Monit, that can’t be suppressed. If you use the 'if changed’ type check, M/Monit will first show orange for the status, but unless the timestamp was changed, it will show green on next report from Monit. If you use M/Monit for alerts (recommended and then the alert statement above can be removed) you can set it up to not alert on timestamp.
